Am developing dynamic website area for customers to log in and view their
specific inventory items. If I use a HTML form and pass form parameters to next
page with filtered recordset, only the specific customers' records show.
However, there is not an authorized login user procedure used.
If I use a form with the server behavior Login Authorization, the specific
customer filter no longer works. I have tried using the Session variable, URL
variable, and Form variable filters. I assume I am doing someithing wrong but
have spent 2 full days working on it to no avail. It somehow is linked to
parameter passing through the Login Authorization behavior.
Is there a general framework or work flow that is to be followed to limit
records in conjunction with a login procedure.
The flow I am looking for is this:
(1) customer logs in with email address and password. This is verified through
a login file of users.
(2) The customer file contains the email address and account number. I would
like the program to automatically pass the
account number program on to the next page which is a Customer Inventory
page.
(3) The Customer Inventory page would show only those Inventory Records from
the Inventory file that are associated with the
specific customer account number.
It seems like a pretty common situation overall really. All of the reading in
the various Dreamweaver books finesse the issue by using examples that are
explicit filters ( ie: price =< 35 ). None use a dynamic filter as an
example.....
Any thoughts?
Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

My overall purpose is to allow a customer to select an item which will in turn
generate an email 'release' order. Undoubtedly this will provide future
requests !! :-)
